But the new charger sucks.

It has 4 doors, it's waaayyyy too long, and the hood and trunk are short. I hate it. It's NOTHING like what a charger should be. The current 'charger' should be renamed coronet, because that's what it looks like and is designed after.

But yes, this new challenger is BADASS, and I will want one if they make it. Dodge hasn't made a v8 RWD pony car in.... jesus... 1978-79 with the dodge aspen with the 360. But that sucked. The last REAL ponycar they made was in 1974, with the E-bodies.

The exterior is perfect... I'd only add the option to get a bit more chrome, and a woodgrained interior, and call that the challenger SE. Just like the real challenger SEs. It should also be able to be individually optioned out, like the new mini. That way you can choose the sport sideview mirrors, the high impact colors, the color keyed bumpers, different wheels, etce tc etc.

BTW, that dash cluster will never make it into production. It needs a hood over the top of the gauges to shield glare. Every concept I've ever seen like that always gets a hood over the gauges for production.

I like the new Mustang better. To me, the new Mustang looks retro without looking old. That Challenger just looks old. Not bad, just old.

That's pretty sweet. I took a look at the new Chargers the other night, and I think they look like ass. This Challenger concept is pretty sweet. I'd buy one.

So no, it doesn't need a paintjob from the general lee. That doesn't make any sense whatsoever. You may as well have said it needed a mustang or camaro emblem.

Why is it so hard for people to spell CAMARO correctly? It's not like it's a car that you never see... it isn't rare or anything. Listen to how you say it. CA-MAR-O. Not CA-MER-O.

Hell, you can't even open the side windows all the way!

What kind of design house commits crap like this to paper/computer screen. and then what kind of company commits factory time to making it?!?!

Oh yeah, it didn't sell well for a reason. That's quite obvious.

I know! What a piece of ****! That must mean the car sucks!





Are you mentally retarded? Because I'm pretty sure I've explained the benefits of having a much larger door opening with better view thanks to curved glass which is impossible to roll down so only a portion rolls down many many times. So either you can't remember jack **** (duh you work at a factory duh huh huh push the button) or you're a retard (factory worker).

What kind of design house commits crap like this to paper/computer screen.
Ital Design. Guigario. He's one of the most successful italian industrial designers of the past half a century, penning all sorts of great cars. Some fast. Some cheap. All better looking than GM's products. Course, you wouldn't be privy to this sort of information because you probably don't read industry magazines like

http://www.carstylingmag.com/carstylingmag/

But ****! I think I've told you about that before too! So either you can't remember jack **** (duh you work at a factory duh huh huh push the button) or you're a retard (factory worker).

Oh yeah, it didn't sell well for a reason. That's quite obvious.
And you're trying to derail a thread for a reason. That's quite obvious.

Quit trolling KILBEY. It's pathetic that in a musclecar thread you suddenly attack my car only to try to get a rise out of me. You are a pathetic little man working at a factory. HAHA!

They both are the same color? I suppose these all look the same to you also:









As for the stupid windows.... whatever. Lots of cars have windows like that. It's just that they're usually super expensive and not a good idea for daily transportation. It's quite nice actually, I wish more cars had that style of window as you get a lot better visibility because of all the glass, entering and exiting the car is easier thanks to the larger door opening, and it's a lot quieter.

Actually, your post looks more like spam.

Maybe Leftlanenews.com should have it's own forum.

Eh I am kinda glad he posted it in here. I don't go there and Hadn't heard about the new car.

Nick only seems to post cars in here that he thinks we would be interested in.

And this is one of them.

Does anyone remember Mad-Max with Mel Gibson. In that movie they took cars from that era and made them look futuristic. Some of these new/old concepts feel like the ones in that movie! It's funny how thinkgs come full circle.
